August is joined by Cory Martin, author of the award-winning memoir Love Sick, to explore dating, sex and learning to thrive when you have a chronic disease. Cory was 28 when she was diagnosed with MS and now sees her journey with chronic illness, which also includes lupus, as a gift. Dr. Megan Fleming weighs in for a listener who has a rare form of arthritis and fears chronic pain will hinder sexual pleasure and intimacy with her newfound love. Thankfully, there are workarounds and orgasms can bring pain relief! (Science proves it.)

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
